HI!!! Do you have any ideas for really sappy love quotes from either series??? I’m blanking for valentine’s day and my boyfriend loves Sanderson! 💖❤️💗💕💖

A few that came to mind quickly:

“Elend Venture,’ she said, standing up. ‘There is something I’ve been meaning to tell you for some time.’ She paused, blinking away her tears. ‘You read too much. Especially in the presence of ladies.’He smiled, throwing back his chair and grabbing her in a firm embrace. Vin closed her eyes, simply feeling the warmth of being held.And realized that was all she had ever really wanted.”

”He didn’t know if he’d ever get the answers he wanted. Yet, he was coming to realize that he could love her even if he didn’t completely understand her. He bent down and kissed the top of her head….He lay for a moment, quietly remarking to himself on his fortune. He still wasn’t sure how their relationship had worked out, or even why it made him so happy, but he was more than willing to enjoy the experience.”

“She was strong and vulnerable all at once…She had a way of pouring everything of herself into what she did. When she fought, she was the blade. When she loved, she was the kiss. In that regard, she was far more … human than any I have known. ”

“Adolin waved toward him. “Shallan. He can literally fly.” 

 “Oh? And is that what women are supposed to seek in a mate? Is it in the Polite Lady’s Handbook to Courtship and Family ? The Bekenah edition, maybe? 'Ladies, you can’t possibly marry a man if he can’t fly.’ 

Never mind if the other option is as handsome as sin, kind to everyone he meets regardless of their station, passionate about his art, and genuinely humble in the weirdest, most confident way. 

Never mind if he actually seems to get you, and remarkably listens to your problems, encouraging you to be you—not to hide yourself away. 

Never mind if being near him makes you want to rip his shirt off and push him into the nearest alleyway, then kiss him until he can’t breathe anymore. 

If he can’t fly, then well, you just have to call it off!” 

 She paused for breath, gasping. 

 “And…” Adolin said. “That guy is … me?” 

 “You are such a fool.” 

She grabbed his ripped coat and pulled him into a kiss, passionspren crystallizing in the air around them. 

The warmth of the kiss did more for her than the tea ever could. It made her bubble and boil inside. Stormlight was nice, but this … this was an energy that made it dun by comparison. 

Storms, she loved this man. 

 When she let him out of the kiss, he grabbed her and pulled her close, breathing heavily. 

 “Are you … are you sure?” he asked. “I just … Don’t glare at me, Shallan. I have to say this. The world is full of gods and Heralds now, and you’re one of them. I’m practically a nobody. I’m not used to that feeling.” 

 “Then it’s probably the best thing that’s ever happened to you, Adolin Kholin. Well. Except for me.” She snuggled against him. “…If you wanted, I could be practically anyone.” 

“But that’s the thing, Shallan. I don’t want anyone. I want you.” 

 “That might be the hardest one. But I think I can do it, Adolin. With some help, maybe?” 

 He grinned that goofy grin of his. 

Storms, how could his hair look so good with gravel in it? 

“So…” he said. “You mentioned something about kissing me until I can’t breathe. But here I am, not even winded—” He cut off as she kissed him again. 

And for fun:

“Nearby, Lopen talked to the ground, against which he was still pressed. 

“Don’t worry, dear one. The Lopen is vast enough to be possessed by many, many forces, both terrestrial and celestial! I must soar to the air, for if I were to remain only on the ground, surely my growing magnitude would cause the land to crack and break.”

“Ground,” Lopen insisted, “I will still love you. I’m not attracted to anyone the way I am to you. Whenever I leave, I’ll come right back!””
